My friend and I looked at one another, shrugged, and turned around and left.
also fuck this movie for assisting the impression that every emaciated fuckwad with a) anger management issues, b) a stringy goatee, c) rudimentary guitar skills, and d) the occasional "life is sort of crazy" phrase accompanied by a faraway, deep look is some sort of charismatic shaman.

xpost -- OTM. The funniest part is, that isn't even one of the more memorable lines from the movie, and it's the kind of line that might as well be from ANY movie.

a couple of years ago a friend of mine invited me to a party he was going to. he picked me up and we drove to a house in Silver Lake. We walked around back and into the back yard. There was a porch that required us to climb up some steps, to where we saw a handful of smokers outside chattering away. We reached the steps and we heard a guy say, "Coffee and smokes, man, that's all I need." A girl replied, "Reality Bites, right?" He replied, "Yes!" She said, "AWEsome..." Another guy chimed in, "Fuckin' great movie, dude." And all three said, "Yeah, seriously."

Wow. It really is something you watch at age 21 and think you can relate to. Then you watch it a decade later and think, "Who are these pretentious, self-absorbed assmonkeys?" And then you think, "Oh, wait, I *WAS* one of those pretentious, self-absorbed assmonkeys."
I'm surprised nobody's mentioned Roger Ebert's incredible skewering of this movie - highly recommended even if you're not a fan of his:

was winona ryder in even one good movie after "heathers"?

i have never seen this and never intend to.
― BIG HOOS aka the steendriver, Saturday, 5 January 2008 08:22 (sixteen years ago) link
I was getting ready to defend post-"Heathers" Winona but Alien: Resurrection really is the only good movie she's done since then. (Night On Earth is okayish, I haven't seen Mermaids and don't care about Edward Scissorhands either way.)

I was about to say Night on Earth, but her segment is the least entertaining in the whole film.

i haven't seen Reality Bites, but it's got to be a better "LOL 90'S" movie than Empire Records
― latebloomer, Saturday, 5 January 2008 10:20 (sixteen years ago) link
empire records didn't take itself nearly so seriously, did it?

i pretty much loved most of the 90s gen-x films, no matter how crap they were.
― Rubyredd, Saturday, 5 January 2008 10:37 (sixteen years ago) link
was clueless a gen-x film or were the characters too young?
― get bent, Saturday, 5 January 2008 10:40 (sixteen years ago) link
too young and not at all gen-x anyway! like as if.

ehhh... it's just a really good teen movie.

i'm just thinking the ubiquity of cell phones (a rarer thing among teens in the mid-90s, but all over this flick) and the reliance on constant contact.
